Description:
Enrollment in the Program in Microbiology and Molecular Pathogenesis at Dartmouth offers the opportunity to pursue a Ph.D. degree at a leading academic institution that is located in an outstanding rural setting. The recently expanded multidisciplinary program includes faculty members from the Departments of Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Microbiology and Immunology, Physiology, and Pharmacology and Toxicology in both the Medical School and the College. This provides a wide range of opportunity for study and interaction that is generally administered through the Graduate Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB). Individuals interested in applying for admission may choose to direct their application through the Graduate Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology or through a specific department. Course requirements and curriculum for students will vary somewhat depending on the graduate program into which they are enrolled. As an example, during the first year, students enrolled in the MCB Program will normally take an intensive two-term course in molecular and cellular biology, the introductory course in immunology, and a course in molecular genetics. By the end of the second year, it is generally expected that a student will have taken advanced-level courses in biochemistry, biology, molecular genetics, and immunology; four such elective courses are required. The graduate program utilizes laboratory rotations in the first year as a means to introduce students to laboratories in which they may do their thesis research.

Degree(s):

Description:
The immunology program at Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) is an interdepartmental program that trains both postdoctoral fellows and predoctoral students in cellular and molecular immunology. It is composed of faculty and staff members from the Department of Physiology, the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, and the Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology. Ph.D. degrees are granted through any one of these three programs. Individuals interested in applying for admission to the Program in Immunology may choose to direct their application, through the director of the immunology program, to either the Department of Physiology, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, or the Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology. Qualified students are notified of acceptance through the admission committees from the respective graduate Ph.D. programs.

Description:
The Neuroscience Center at Dartmouth provides graduate opportunities in neuroscience through the Neuroscience Track of the Program in Experimental and Molecular Medicine Program (PEMM) qualified Ph.D. and M.D.-Ph.D. students have an opportunity to be educated and highly trained for productive careers in translational neuroscience research through training with faculty members of the Neuroscience Center at Dartmouth (NCD). Students will utilize innovative approaches to investigate the neurobiology of disease to advance our understanding of the mechanisms of nervous system disorders to discover novel treatments. The interdisciplinary nature of the neuroscience track allows for a broad range of interactions with faculty, residents, fellows and other students. The NCD's faculty members represent departments that span the Arts and Sciences, Medical School, Thayer School of Engineering and the Veteran Affairs Hospital. There is an enormous breadth of neuroscience research interests represented among the faculty, so that students are able to pursue research in a wide range of relevant neuroscience areas using state-of-the-art methodology. This multidisciplinary effort provides opportunities in areas including, but not limited to: addiction, chronic pain, epilepsy, language development, social cognition & brain science, mechanisms and treatment of neurodegeneration and schizophrenia.
